The 2023-24 Champions League final is set with Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid meeting at Wembley Stadium on June 1 with the title on the line. Unlike the other knockout games, the Champions League final is a one-match affair so it all comes down to this for Dortmund and Real Madrid.
The German side took down PSG 2-0 on aggregate, winning 1-0 in both matches of the tie. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich were tied 2-2 after the first leg and the Spanish side were nearly eliminated after Bayern took a 1-0 lead at the Santiago Bernabeu, but the La Liga champions found that Madrid magic once again. Joselu scored two goals in a three-minute span to give Real Madrid the 2-1 win and take the semifinal matchup 4-3 on aggregate.

It makes sense for Real Madrid to come in as a heavy favorite, especially given the club’s history in the Champions League final. This side won in 2022 and has clinched five titles in the last 10 competitions. Los Blancos are the most successful club in Europe with 14 titles overall in 17 opportunities. Meanwhile, Dortmund are 1-1 in the Champions League final. They secured the championship in 1997 but lost to rivals Bayern Munich in 2013 at Wembley Stadium. It could’ve been a true rematch if not for Real Madrid’s typical home magic.
